I found these pictures of the estate taken in 2005.Some lucky people actually get on the grounds.

I've been to the estate 3 or 4 times.last in 2004.I've never noticed the picnic area.It's defined by pavers and what appears to be shells or rocks.

Here is the link.

From what I can determine....HAB is..Hawaii Association of the Blind..Which may explain the dogs.

I found this short report on the picnic.

and from that web page I found an interview with Mike Post.

Very cool, another Robin Masters charity function!

And what's this? A guide bunny?

There's a cat there too, I wonder if those two were present to train the dogs to be used to different prey - err, animals I mean.

A quote from the second link: "There’s tennis court in there and then there is a whole huge area to do your barbeque with electricity and everything..." I wonder if that electricity was put in for filming the show.

Hi RC...I checked the HAB web page to see if there were more pictures but came up empty..So what I'd like you to do....

After the beach pics there are a series of pics from the picnic,if you start with 1st pic and count to 8,you'll see a guy..blue shirt and blue hat with a camera.........I want you to find his pictures..If anyone can do it..you can :lol:

Ha, he looks a bit like the man on the grassy knoll. I'd suspect everything has been covered up by now, sorry. :D

One thing I did notice..In the first picture after the beach pics..The gray haired lady with her back turned to the camera talking to the guy in the pink shirt..Looks like Eve Anderson.

It certainly is possible that the electricity was installed for the show..But do you remember seeing anything but lawn on the grounds..

Man o man give me an hour on the estate and I'll have it figured out.

FYI..For the past two years,a local station has been showing Hawaii Five-O and one thing I've learned about the estate.The side door on the driveway side doesn't open into the house.It goes under the lanai to the front door.

Well that area under the tree in the pictures wasn't seen very much in the show, it's possible at least that they would have been able to keep the outlet structure out of shots, or at least not be obvious.

And I've been meaning to see the Hawaii Five-0 episodes which include the Anderson Estate. Is there a list of these episodes anywhere? I've watched the show from time to time but I don't remember seeing the estate.

A Magnum fan (Pete) recently informed me that the Anderson Estate shows up in two Season 2 Hawaii Five-O episodes - "Forty Feet High and It Kills" and "Sweet Terror". Season 2 of HFO was recently released on DVD. The estate is also used in the series finale "Woe to Wo Fat", and possibly others.
Pete wrote:"Sweet Terror" has what appears to be, actual shots from the interior of the home, most notably, the entryway. There is also a good scene from the boathouse (guesthouse), as well. Overall, there are also a few shots that give a good indication of how the grounds are laid out, compared to the confusing way portrayed on Magnum.

HI RC...James has given you 3 and I'll add 2 more.

From season 4..While You're at it.Bring in the Moon...

From season 5..You Don't Have to Kill to get Rich,But it Helps..In this episode the grounds,tidal pool and house were used..William Shatner and Al Harrington can be seen climbing up a trellis to the second floor small balcony on the ocean side,to a bedroom.I don't believe the bedroom scene was at the estate.

I know there are 3 or 4 more episodes and I'll to recall them.

Yeah..The house has a long history..I also think it was used in Jake and the Fatman or One West Waikiki.

James..I'm trying to do some screen captures..actually digital camera shots from the TV.I have a few.Can I email them to you to see what you think..As you can imagine the quality is not great.

OOPS..the pics are interior shots of the estate.
